Abstract-The Internet has led to the creation of a digital society, where (almost) everything is connected and is accessible from anywhere. However, despite their widespread adoption, traditional IP networks are complex and very hard to manage. It is both difficult to configure the network according to predefined policies, and to reconfigure it to respond to faults, load and changes. To make matters even more difficult, current networks are also vertically integrated: the control and data planes are bundled together. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that promises to change this state of affairs, by breaking vertical integration, separating the network's control logic from the underlying routers and switches, promoting (logical) centralization of network control, and introducing the ability to program the network. The separation of concerns introduced between the definition of network policies, their implementation in switching hardware, and the forwarding of traffic, is key to the desired flexibility: by breaking the network control problem into tractable pieces, SDN makes it easier to create and introduce new abstractions in networking, simplifying network management and facilitating network evolution.In this paper we present a comprehensive survey on SDN. We start by introducing the motivation for SDN, explain its main concepts and how it differs from traditional networking, its roots, and the standardization activities regarding this novel paradigm. Next, we present the key building blocks of an SDN infrastructure using a bottom-up, layered approach. We provide an in-depth analysis of the hardware infrastructure, southbound and northbound APIs, network virtualization layers, network operating systems (SDN controllers), network programming languages, and network applications. We also look at cross-layer problems such as debugging and troubleshooting. In an effort to anticipate the future evolution of this new paradigm, we discuss the main ongoing research efforts and challenges of SDN. In particular, we address the design of switches and control platforms -with a focus on aspects such as resiliency, scalability, performance, security and dependability -as well as new opportunities for carrier transport networks and cloud providers. Last but not least, we analyze the position of SDN as a key enabler of a software-defined environment.

“…Recent standardization efforts within the IETF reflect this desire [48,49]. Efforts in the OpenArch and OPENSIG communities succeeded in provisioning QoS in multi-service networks [50,51,52,53]. Whereas these efforts attempt to modularize the architecture and the functionality of individual routers, we propose to move the logic (e.g., path computation) currently in the control plane out of the routers and control plane altogether into a separate decision plane equipped with network-wide views.…”

Today's data networks are surprisingly fragile and difficult to manage. We argue that the root of these problems lies in the complexity of the control and management planes-the software and protocols coordinating network elements-and particularly the way the decision logic and the distributed-systems issues are inexorably intertwined. We advocate a complete refactoring of the functionality and propose three key principles-network-level objectives, network-wide views, and direct control-that we believe should underlie a new architecture. Following these principles, we identify an extreme design point that we call "4D," after the architecture's four planes: decision, dissemination, discovery, and data. The 4D architecture completely separates an AS's decision logic from protocols that govern the interaction among network elements. The AS-level objectives are specified in the decision plane, and enforced through direct configuration of the state that drives how the data plane forwards packets. In the 4D architecture, the routers and switches simply forward packets at the behest of the decision plane, and collect measurement data to aid the decision plane in controlling the network. Although 4D would involve substantial changes to today's control and management planes, the format of data packets does not need to change; this eases the deployment path for the 4D architecture, while still enabling substantial innovation in network control and management. We hope that exploring an extreme design point will help focus the attention of the research and industrial communities on this crucially important and intellectually challenging area.

“…10). The first one is that they split single network equipment into two parts, "routing process" for control system and a "forwarding engine" for transport system, and connect those two entities by "open standard" protocols [57]. The second feature is the introduction of "IP flow" management for connectionless IP traffic [58].…”

SUMMARY Telecommunication networks have evolved from telephony networks to the Internet, and they sustainably support the development of a secured, safe, and comfortable society. The so-called "switching technology" including the evolved "network system technology" is one of the main infrastructure technologies used for realizing information communication services. On the occasion of completion of 100 years since the establishment of the IEICE, we summarize the history of network system technologies and present their future direction for the next generation. We mainly focus on a series of technologies that evolved through the discussions of the IEICE technical committees on switching engineering, launched 50 years ago, switching systems engineering, and network systems in action.
